The layout of the Lost Woods is understandably maze-like. Most areas are very similar: vaguely rectangular in shape with four different pathways leading in each direction. A Deku Scrub taunts them for how easy it is to get lost, and another claims that those who lose their way become scrubs as well.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|589|Deku Scrub}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|FSA|1193|Deku Scrub}}</ref>

Another notable feature of the woods is that there are many skull-shaped caves that the Links can descend into, which house things such as items or water jars. The Shovel is hidden in one of these.

*One is at the very end of the level, just before the [[Eye Barrier]]s. He incessantly throws [[Big Bomb]]s while the Links are in the area. They must find a secret hole in the ground with the Shovel in order to escape.

The main items used in the Lost Woods are the [[Lamp]] and the Shovel. Roc's Feather and the [[Bow]] are also required, but only used once. In addition, the [[Pegasus Boots]] and [[Bomb]]s are available, but not necessary.

The Lamp is used many times to burn through tree trunks to open up new passages in the woods. The Shovel is an important part of the level, and the Deku Scrubs refer to it often, usually talking about how they use it for their own purposes.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1191|Deku Scrub}}</ref><ref>{{ Cite|FSA|1194|Deku Scrub}}</ref> They dug an underground road with it, but in order to prevent intruders from finding it, they hid all of the shovels and stored away the key.<ref name="One"/><ref>{{Cite|FSA|1198|Deku Scrub}}</ref> Once the Links get the key after defeating Gohma, they can finally obtain the Shovel and find the road.

There are only two Small Keys in the Lost Woods level. The first one is obtained by stepping on switch in Box formation and fighting three Wizzrobes. The key is used on a cave in the same area, where the Pegasus Boots and Roc's Feather are located.

The second is the main key to the Shovel's hiding place. According to the Deku's Bulletin Board, they hid the key in the same place they got it from after locking the Shovel's location.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1201|Deku Scrub Bulletin Board}}</ref> It is found in a treasure chest after defeating a powerful Gohma, near a heavy log that must be lifted to jump over the gap back into the main part of the woods.

===Deku Scrubs===
The denizens of the Lost Woods are almost exclusively Deku Scrubs. They all feel very comfortable in the darkness of the forest.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1200|Deku Scrub}}</ref> Most of them are seen guarding the Shovel's resting place, but a few are scattered in other places throughout the woods. They all worship Ganon because he awakened them from their "slumber".<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1192|Deku Scrub}}</ref> As a result, many of the Deku Scrubs in the circle watching the Shovel speak about him and mention how he plans to spread the darkness of the woods to the rest of [[Hyrule]].<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1197|Deku Scrub}}</ref> One of them also complains about how a Deku Scrub named [[Decci]] has disappeared.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1196|Deku Scrub}}</ref>

===Dekki and Deppi===
There are two important Deku Scrubs, named Dekki and [[Deppi]], who unintentionally help the Links through the level. They are found in the same area, although Deppi is in the normal world while Dekki prefers the Dark World because he likes dark places.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1216|Deppi}}</ref> When they first speak with Dekki, he asks if they are there to help.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1224|Dekki}}</ref> If they say yes, he tells them to bring Deppi three different items.<ref name="Three"/><ref>{{Cite|FSA|1239|Dekki}}</ref> The Links can fail the job and get fired if they bring him the items in the wrong order, however.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1240|Dekki}}</ref><ref>{{Cite|FSA|1218|Deppi}}</ref> Once they have completed their task, Deppi tells them to head down to Dekki in the Dark World.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1223|Deppi}}</ref> Dekki is impressed with their work, so he gives them the Power Bracelet.<ref name="Two"/>

===Great Fairy===
A [[Great Fairy]] lives in the Lost Woods as well. However, the Deku Scrubs hid her away so that no one could upgrade the Shovels and find their secret road.<ref>{{Cite|FSA|1195|Deku Scrub}}</ref> She can be found within a cave blocked by an unmovable skull. In order to meet her, the Links need to defeat the five Buzz Blobs in the area outside of her cave. The skull vanishes, and she will upgrade the Links' items.
